The Pretty Bystander Watched the Love Triangle Crash and Burn

Zhou Luoyu lives in a danmei novel as a passerby whose name is never even mentioned.

He's beautiful, with a pure, clean aura, and perfectly suited to play an innocent little white flower.

The System assigns him a mission: help the protagonist and his four love interests get together in a dramatic showdown. Complete it, and he'll receive a generous reward.

It's just that the missions don't go quite as planned.

Mission 1: He means to splash coffee on the protagonist, but accidentally spills it on one of the love interests instead. He apologizes and rushes away, not noticing the protagonist's gaze following him.

Mission 2: He's supposed to pretend to fall into one love interest's arms and make the protagonist jealous. Instead, he accidentally tears the love interest's high-quality shirt. He sits on the floor with a blank look, oblivious to the protagonist's thoughtful gaze.

Mission N: He plans to badmouth the protagonist in front of everyone at a banquet, but gets drunk and speaks his mind, calling one of the love interests a scumbag. Afterward, the protagonist carries him back to his hotel room.

His missions are always plagued by little mishaps, but luckily, he succeeds every time.

The System only cares about the results, not the details. By the time it realizes there's a serious problem, it's already too late.

One day, Zhou Luoyu is summoned by all four love interests.

The four men surround him from every side, confessing their feelings in ways that leave him stunned.

With nowhere left to retreat, Zhou Luoyu is rescued just in time by the protagonist, who appears and tells him, “Ignore them. Come with me.”

Thinking he's still doing a mission, Zhou Luoyu deliberately says the opposite of what he means. “Mind your own business! I've been looking forward to this day for ages!”

The protagonist stares at him, his expression turning dangerous.

The System, realizing the plot has collapsed, is scared out of its wits.

After being unable to contact the System for a long time, Zhou Luoyu realizes something is wrong. That night, he finds himself lying in the protagonist's arms.

He sobs so hard he can barely breathe. “We shouldn't be together. You should be with them...”

The protagonist says, “Again.”

-

For the past two years, Gu Yanxun has been harassed by certain people. He's called the police, moved to another city, asked passersby for help, and even used his family's influence, but nothing has worked.

People who are usually so righteous become like the walking dead as soon as his problems come up, their eyes vacant and their ability to think for themselves gone.

Then one day, someone enters Gu Yanxun's world.

This person is expressive and refuses to join the onlookers who just stand by and watch. Again and again, he throws those people's plans into disarray and disrupts countless situations Gu Yanxun finds repulsive.

Without realizing it, Gu Yanxun's gaze lingers on him. The heart frozen for years finally beats with life again.

Note: Both are pure, and this is both their first love.

The protagonist loves money and food, and is slow to understand his own feelings.

The love interest and the other “love interests” have no romantic relationship of any kind.

Theme: Work hard to complete missions, work hard to make money
